Plant dyed yarn. These skeins are the 1st in my hedgerow collection using @cambrian_wool. This gorgeous dk yarn is made using the fleeces of sheep from the Cambrian Mountains region of Wales. This commercially spun yarn will sit along side my hand spun yarn which is dyed using the same gathered plants. The colours are muted with light and dark hues running throughout the wool. This batch have tones of Welsh slate, khaki and mauve. Limited batches available online through my website now.
